HARBOR DEBRIS – USE 311
PLEASE REPORT WHAT YOU SEE
and clean up what you are able!
We have had many reports from homeowners requesting updates on Debris Removal in Mandalay. These reports have been shared with the city in seawall team meetings and other correspondence.
- The City has contracted an on call service for Debris Removal
(our assessment funds will be used to pay for this service so report wisely) - Shopping Carts, large Palm fronds, Large items following winds
- Trash and debris or algae that is more than homeowners are able to remove
We can cut costs by lending a hand!
We can all help cut expenses by scooping out what we can!
Please watch your trash bins on windy days! Trash blowing from open lids ends up in the harbor.
Always tie down items on your deck, dock and boat and remove anything that can blow away.
PLEASE dispose of all plastic bags, disposable cups, plates, bottles, ice bags and materials before they blow away!
Scoop and place plant matter and algae in the green barrel and trash in your trash bin!
If you do not have a green barrel ask your neighbors if you can use theirs!
In conversations with Special Districts and Public Works we have agreed to encourage homeowners to use 311 to report areas of concern.
THE PLAN: Do not expect a boat to appear right after you report.
Special Districts will attempt to group reports so that it is most cost effective!

Background
The volunteers who meet with the city to understand and provide input on how our meager Waterways 1 Assessment funds are allocated had some struggles in the past with getting the attention of the former Special Districts Manager in allocating funds and establishing a reserve for dredging. That manager is no longer employed by the city. The current Special Districts Manager, Anthony Miller, has been working with us and Public Works to address the needs.
- Current assessment unchanged since 1993
